Varnasi Time

Varanasi Time follows the cycle of the day according to the Hindu faith in Varanasi, a spiritual center in North India. One of the oldest cities in the world, Varanasi is a place where the sacred and the mundane coexist. Layers of ambient sounds, including communal prayers, songs, sermons, yoga practice, music, chanting, and street sounds drive the film forward. The title of the film and the names of important points in the day (according to the Hindu faith) are shown in the English and Hindi letters. From dopeher (Afternoon in Hindi,) to samdhya (Evening,) to raat (Night,) to savera (Early Morning,) the film moves back to subh (Morning.)
